INTRODUCTION
The first part of the article summarizes the main physical constants and terms used in theories to define the properties of superconductors, and clarifies a number of concepts related to the technological characteristics of superconducting materials.
The second part brings together the main data on superconducting bodies in the form of summary tables (tables 1 to 14 ) or typical curves (figures 1 to 13 ).
Readers can find theoretical and technical information on superconductors in the treatises Basic Sciences, Electrical Engineering and Electronics.
